D.O.M. Hotel, Rome

Via Giulia, 131, 00186 Roma RM, Italy (show on map)

The D.O.M. Hotel is located on the historic Via Giulia, one of the city’s oldest and most prestigious streets. Housed within a 17th-century palace, the building has led many lives—from a noble residence to a Claretian monastery, and even as office space for the Italian Ministry of Justice during the 20th century. Its name is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase “Deo Optimo Maximo,” inspired by an inscription found on an adjacent church.

Architect Antonio Girardi led the hotel’s transformation, brilliantly marrying the building’s Renaissance roots with a moody, modern aesthetic. The interiors feature original exposed brick walls and coffered wooden ceilings, accented by dark charcoal palettes, rich velvet furnishings, and an eclectic collection of photography. This “gentlemen’s club” atmosphere makes it feel both sophisticated and incredibly intimate, with only 18 rooms and suites available for guests.

The rooftop terrace is perhaps the hotel’s most spectacular feature. It offers a private, serene vantage point to take in views of Rome’s historic bell towers and rooftops, providing a perfect spot for an evening cocktail or a quiet breakfast.

Its location is ideal for exploring the Eternal City on foot. You are just a short walk from iconic landmarks such as Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and the bustling Campo de’ Fiori. Additionally, the cultural riches of the Vatican, Castel Sant’Angelo, and the charming streets of Trastevere are all within easy reach, making this boutique property a perfect, central sanctuary for travelers.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“In a 17th-century palazzo in the historic center, D. O. M is a luxurious hotel with 24 rooms and suites that opened in late 2013. The richly textured décor is an appealing mix of old and new — think artworks ranging from Renaissance-era marble inscriptions to Andy Warhol silk-screens — and the clubby rooftop terrace is a new hot spot for aperitivi in warmer months.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Rome.

Telegraph review:

“The hotel, situated along the cobblestoned stretch of Rome’s elegant Via Giulia, has an urban-gothic vibe that dovetails perfectly with the grandeur of the neighbouring Renaissance churches and palazzi. The sophisticated boudoir-noir style of the bar, restaurant, and rooms make this a favourite among fashionistas.”

I would return again quite happily.

Staff are fantastic, very friendly with excellent English but happy for you to try your broken Italian if you want. I wish I had written down the names of the staff so I could thank them by name in this review as they deserve it. They also gave us great suggestions for local restaurants. The rooftop restaurant Verve is brilliant. We had an amazing 6 course degustation meal there and I highly recommend you try it. Hotel is on a quiet street, and rooms are whisper quiet yet walking distance to the Centro and also the Trastevere to eat at night (which I highly recommend). I would also mention the hotel very thoughtfully advised me of a transportation strike the day of my departure and organised a taxi for me. That is excellent service as I wouldn't have known otherwise. Finally, I had room 24 which has a private terrace. It was amazing, and if you are happy to splurge a little, it is well worth it. Had friends over for drinks as the sun set over the Rome rooftops and created some brilliant memories.

Water pressure and temperature of the shower could be upped a little. Lift wasn't working when I was there, but I didn't mind using the stairs at all as the hotel ambience is so nice. Any bags or heavier items were gladly taken care of by the staff.

A very special trip for my partner’s birthday

The hotel had a lovely feel about it. Our room was lovely with a large terrace, so we took advantage and had room service breakfasts in the open air. The Verve Restaurant was also very nice, we ate there twice on our stay.

The roof bar wasn't open while we were there, which was a shame as it would have been lovely.

Great experience, nice vibe, great base for exploring Rome.

Small, quiet hotel in historical building with original, good-size well-equipped rooms and very friendly and helpful staff.

Rooftop has more potential..... Hotel is not suitable for swimmers and spa lovers... (no pool, no spa)

Overall, a lovely hotel.

Cosy, centrally located hotel with excellent staff. Was a combination of rustic, quirky and modern. Loved that the Junior Suite had a second bathroom. Beautiful decoration on the ceiling.

It was off season so the Terrace Restaurant was closed. The bar was empty too. There is a government building opposite so be prepared to see the military standing outside.

Beautiful romantic hotel in the perfect location.

The room was decadent while also comfortable. We found ourselves wanting to lounge in the romantic feel of it during aperitif rather than battle the crowds. The staff was attentive, helpful, and friendly. We would highly recommend this hotel.

A Magical Stay at DOM Hotel Roma

Our stay at DOM Hotel Roma was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility that made our trip to Rome truly unforgettable.

The hotel itself is a masterpiece, blending historic charm with modern luxury. The stunning architecture, with its meticulously preserved details, creates a sense of timeless beauty. Our room was a haven of comfort, boasting plush bedding, thoughtful amenities, and a breathtaking view of the city that greeted us every morning.

What truly set DOM Hotel apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely valued as guests. From personalized recommendations to accommodating our every need, they made our experience seamless and stress-free.

The location is unbeatable. Nestled in the heart of Rome, the hotel provided easy access to iconic landmarks, charming streets, and vibrant cafes, yet it still felt like a serene retreat after a day of exploring.

The on-site restaurant was a culinary delight, serving exquisite dishes that showcased the best of Italian cuisine. The rooftop terrace, with its stunning views and romantic ambiance, was the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the magic of Rome.

DOM Hotel Roma is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience. It made our time in Rome feel like a dream, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Whether you're visiting for a romantic getaway, a cultural adventure, or simply to indulge in luxury, this hotel will exceed your expectations in every way.

We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you, DOM Hotel Roma, for making our stay in the Eternal City truly unforgettable!

Everything we wanted and more.

The hotel is perfect for restaurants and shopping and tourist attractions. Staff make you feel very welcome from the moment you check in. Everyone is so friendly. Rooms are beautiful and very comfy. The breakfast is so fresh and lots of it is home made. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. We will definitely be revisiting.

Fantastic choice if you want something special.

This is a small five star boutique hotel in the old part of Rome. It is a converted palace and many of the original features have been kept. It has tremendous character.
It had a cosy bar and fantastic restaurant (my partner says it was the best food he has ever tasted!) and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
The bedroom was large and spacious and the bathroom contemporary and generous.
While it is within the walls it is not in a traditional touristy area and the life of the locals goes on around you.

Would book here again.

Lovely continental breakfast with eggs available to order. Large comfortable room. Quiet, safe area with local bars, cafes and restaurants. Easy walk to Piazza Navona and walkable to major tourist sites. Very helpful staff on reception.

Rooftop bar was in use as a restaurant so it was disappointing not to be able to have a roof top cocktail in the evening before going out for dinner.

Excellent. We would stay there again every time we are back in Rome!

Location is excellent. In the middle of centro storico, but on a quiet street. Very close to excellent restaurants, cafes and gelaterias. The rooms are very clean and well taken care of. Apart from normal room servicing, there is also turn down service, which is rare these days.

It is on the expensive side, but considering its location. It is well worth it. We chose not to do with the included breakfast as that is 25E per person. You can get great coffee and pastries nearby for a fraction of the cost.
